Nedocromil - ne-DOK-roe-mil is using to prevent the symptoms of asthma. When it is using regularly, nedocromil lessens the number and severity of asthma attacks by reducing inflammation in the lungs. Nedocromil is also using just before exposure to conditions or substances - for example, allergens, chemicals, cold air, or air pollutants that cause reactions, to prevent bronchospasm - wheezing or difficulty in breathing. In addition, nedocromil is using to prevent bronchospasm following exercise. This drug will not help an asthma or bronchospasm attack that has already started.
Nedocromil may be using alone or with other asthma medication, such as bronchodilators - medication that open up narrowed breathing passages and corticosteroids - cortisone-like medication.
Nedocromil works by acting on certain inflammatory cells in the lungs to prevent them from releasing substances that cause asthma symptoms andbronchospasm.
